Tomorrow, My oldest is moving with two of her friends. The girls are so excited a new adventure in their lives. Kelsey has found most all her furnishings at garage sales, Savers or Goodwill. I am also hearing many asking “Kelsey what do you need for our new apartment?” Everything from lamps to a table and chairs.

With her new adventure comes the question: Do we continue to pay her cell phone? If we keep her on our cell plan it’s $12 a month or if she gets her own plan it’s $60 a month. The frugal in me say just continue and let her renew on mine and Parent says she needs to see what this adult world is like; Also with the girls on my plan I pay an extra $20 added to my cell line because I am the primary number for unlimited texting. (something I rarely do)

I don’t know about you, but I love finding new uses for old things. The frugal way to recycle! Here are a few ideas:

Sock with a hole– I cut the sock up the middle and use them for cleaning rags. If I have a dirty job I throw them away and have no guilt.

One sock the other is no where to be found, (My girls would wear it with a different sock.) I clean crystals on chandeliers by wetting the sock and put it on my hand and wiping the crystals or for regular dusting.

Mismatched sock– use as hot pack, fill with rice tie a knot in the end and heat in the microwave for 1 minute.

Mesh bags– onions mesh bags I save them for pot scrubbers. You can also put a washcloth in the bag and really clean those pans. When the mesh needs to be cleaned I put them in the dishwasher to clean and disinfect.

Oranges- mesh bag– they are great for storing store plastic bags or bath toys for the kids.

Toilet paper roll cardboard– use for storing extension and appliance cords. This is a picture found at Real Simple Magazine. I like to cut them in half for cell phone chargers and small appliance adapters.
